6. Ultrasound-guided in utero lentivirus transduction of the murine nervous system to investigate nervous system disorders
Sammanfattning : Neurodevelopment is a highly dynamic process involving hundreds of molecular different cell types. Gain and loss of function studies provide valuable insight into the gene regulatory networks that orchestrate this morphological process. LÄS MER
7. Humoral immunity during primate lentivirus infection : evaluation of B cell apoptosis and engineering of virus specific antibodies
Sammanfattning : The focus of this project was to evaluate the contribution of the humoral immunity in controlling infection with primate lentiviruses - an area which has implications both for vaccine design as well as for understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. The first goal was to generate efficient neutralizing reagents which could be used for passive immunotherapy trials, preferably in the macaque system, and to investigate if peptide immunogens could elicit such antibodies.

8. Modifying xenogeneic immune recognition and engraftment by genetic engineering
Sammanfattning : Transplantation using xenogenic organs, tissues and cells (i.e. xenotransplantation) is a potential solution to the shortage of those from human sources. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are the most immediate barrier between the xenogeneic donor organ and the host defense systems. LÄS MER
9. Improvement of adoptive T-cell therapy for Cancer
Sammanfattning : Cancer immunotherapy has recently made remarkable clinical progress. Adoptive transfer of T-cells engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against CD19 has been successful in treatment of B-cell leukemia. LÄS MER
10. Lineage tracing of early organogenesis and liver mesenchymal cells with ultrasound-guided in utero nano-injection
Sammanfattning : Current methods used to investigate embryo development and alter gene expression in mouse embryos are often time consuming and require large numbers of mice. To circumvent these limitations, we were aiming to develop a flexible and efficient method to investigate embryo development and manipulate gene expression in utero. LÄS MER
